BINKI ROCKET SHIP

‘Rocket Ship’ comes from the mind of binki, a genre-bending artist with experience supporting The 1975 and Glass Animals. It’s a jaunty blast of alt-pop, with squelchy synths, sinister countermelodies and dramatic percussive bouncing supporting his instantly recognisable voice. “Often I’ll just cut people out of my life if I feel like they’re mistreating me or being toxic,” he explains. “I’m not draconian about it I wouldn’t say but you really ought to be selfish with your time and look after your mental health, over anything else. ‘Rocket Ship’ is about that moment where you just realize the vibes are off, and you’re ready to go.” His 16-date US headline tour is on sale now, with his Antennae EP dropping on June 16th via Fader. -Dan Peeke
